Welcome newbies! I’ve been doing step for over 30 years and Chris is one of the best with her excellent cues and fun choreography. Just keep moving and trying!

[@CDornerFitness]

Awe!!! Thank you so so much!

[@brandiloydthepath5139]

I am 53 with SLE (Lupus), I had a foot surgery 3 months ago, a double mastectomy 15 months ago, ovary removal 17 months ago....and was able to do this class!! Just do what you can!

[@maggieg5719]

@@brandiloydthepath5139 You’re very welcome!!!

[@DebbieSmith-se3gq]

I hadnt done step or any other kind of gym work for about 30 years when I found Chris' step classes in November 23 following a knee replacement. I must have spent a week doing the same basic 30 minute step routine every other day until I started to get a feel for it again and get stronger.... with consistency, I now do the full range of Chris' step workouts as well as her weight training, cardio and mobility workouts. I restarted at rock bottom but recognised that Chris is an amazing, safe, qualified instructor which gave me confidence and inspiration. Take it one day at a time but dont give up because you will surprise yourself at how much you can achieve. And basically, step is amazing fun with Chris at the helm!

[@martahiggs83]

If you love step, you love all step, beginner, intermediate or advanced!! I added a riser & worked up quite the sweat! Thanks Chris!💕

[@missystargazer]

If you’re just beginning your step journey, congratulations. You found the very best instructor with the most fabulous channel! Keep at it, you’ve got this. If you’re not so new, just add a riser or two and you’ll be sweating before you know it. Thank you so much Chris for another wonderful workout!

[@wesr1129]

Thank you! I have been stepping since 1993 but I remember how intimidating it was to take a class as a newbie and to be screwing up in front of everyone. Starting something new is not easy! Give yourself some grace and be grateful that you can mess up and repeat in the privacy of your own home!! This is a perfect beginner workout. It might feel confusing until you learn what the steps look like. For example, once you know what a V-step is, you don't have to think about it when Chris cues that step - you just do it! A piece of advice if you're brand new to stepping - do this workout without the arms the first few times - just keep your hands on your hips and focus on the feet. And as you learn the steps it will get easier and easier. That always helped me and still does if I'm taking a class with advanced choreo moves. My hands go right on my hips LoL Keep going!!! xo Amy

[@alessandrafalconi9370]

You won’t find a better Step/Trainer like Chris!! I’m not a beginner but I did it because I love Step and Chris!!! ❤ Thank you Chris! 🥰

This is so great for beginner steppers and all of us that have been doing step for 35 years. All step is fantastic ❤

[@LanaLane-df1fe]

Enjoyed this workout Short but beneficial thanks!

[@elizabethpiela7389]

This was great! I added a riser to make it more intense. I started doing step workouts before they became popular. A certain workout video series used a "step-up box," but I used phone books...that tells you how long ago it was! My husband bought me a Reebok step about 20 years ago, Since I have difficulty with the faster beats and complex choreography (my step doesn't go below 6 inches), the slower tempos are perfect. And as one of Chris's assistants, Audrey says, "there's always a modification," so no matter your ability, you can find workouts with Chris, modifying as you need. Working out is truly the best thing you can do for your health, IMO, and Chris is so well qualified and nice you can't miss by making it a habit to work out with her. And it's free.😊

[@maggieg5719]

Oh my goodness Brandi!!! God bless you. If you had all that, and did this class, you are a beast!!! You are an inspiration. Prayers to you!🙏

[@deblandis8393]

DIdn't get to take my usual lunchtime walk due to the snow, so this beginner workout provided some much need cardio. Chris's Learn Basic Step tutorials helped me immensely when I first started doing step 4 years ago. She is an excellent instructor.

[@maggiefowler3314]

Im not the best at step, but I keep trying and just keep doing. As long as I'm moving that's all that matters 😊

I really enjoyed beginner step. Chris is very encouraging and walks you through each step. Before you know it, you are doing step aerobics without even thinking about it. Thanks for a great workout!

[@christinaanderson777]

This was a perfect beginner basic step. I've been doing your basic step classes and can do some intermediate, but I loved that I was able to use one riser and up the intensity for this video. Thank you for another awesome workout💖

Thanks Chris, I used this as a warm-up before beginning Day 1 of your 30-day workout... I suspect that I will be revisiting this again and again. 😍

This reminded me of how I started 2.5 years ago! Be warned: you may grow to love it so much that your next DIY project is building a home gym in your spare room so you can have Daily Dorner Space! Luckily my other half is very understanding 😂

I have been battling sciatica since before Halloween. This is my first step back and it was just what I needed

[@KellyKemp-z4d]

This was great. Added a riser. I never dreamed I’d be at that ability level. So many step resources on Chris’ channel… in no time you’ll be stepping like it’s your job. Laugh at yourself and do your best! ❤

WOOO GO KELLY!

Welcome to all the newbies. Chris is the BEST instructor with lots of cues, form directions, and a huge variety of music and classes. There's something for everyone. You can't go wrong with Chris' classes.

[@ttdliebenberg72]

So I always go the weight route with Chris and absolutely love her and do her exercises EVERY single day. I don't do live sadly due to the big time difference, but tried this one this morning (I was chicken to try again as my co-ordination is shot to hell 😂😂) despite dancing many a moon ago. WELL, this was great and I didn't get befuddled and I finished it and dusted off my step!! Thank you yet AGAIN Chris!!! Brilliant!!!! x

For anyone worried about missing a step or a cue- I (and many others) often end up making up our own steps on the Saturday step workout- those steps are a challenge! But do what your body wants and keep it moving, for all the step workouts- you can do it!

[@KatG.-qy2ye]

I liked this quite a lot, perfect for me after a challenging day at work. Sometimes I'm not able to concentrate a lot and follow intermediate or fast basic but still want to do a little cardio. Or you can add it to a little weight class😉Thank you Chris❤ I always feel better after your fun classes

[@lindagray6727]

I did step in the 90s and loved it. But stopped when I guess I couldn't find classes. Anyway, I l discovered Chris a few years ago on KZbin and I love her classes. They are fun and the time flies! I like these shorter ones when I don't have a lot of time or have low energy. I feel energized afterwards.

[@CDornerFitness]

Yay so happy to have you with us Linda!

[@christinemayopowers]

Chris is such a fabulous teacher, you will have so much fun! Keep on comin' back to step it up!

[@aljw17]

Thanks, Chris! This is perfect to help me get gently back into workouts after injury.

[@SarahHarvey-c3b]

Hi. I started doing step back in the 80’s when I went to a class. I found the co-ordination hard to begin with and was getting frustrated so left the arms out to begin with and concentrated on getting the moves - they came naturally in time. I used to go home and practice with a tea towel on the floor to replicate a step 😂 Over the years my instructor moved on to teaching other classes and step took a back seat so I was thrilled to find Chris’ classes. She’s a great teacher. Stick with it - you will get there and not look back, just keep progressing. I’m 54 and find step is just as good for challenging my brain as well as my body. Interspersed with strength training and mobility I’m getting all I need to keep my body healthy strong - hopefully. Everything is here is one place. Thank you Chris 🙏 Sarah 🇬🇧

[@MeganKaiser-b1u]

I took step classes before my son was born, so over 16 years ago! I’ve been experimenting with your classes, but appreciate the refresher course. I’m going to order your step too. Mine is too narrow and I’m afraid I’m going to hurt myself. I like that yours is wider.

[@JenCallison]

This is a fantastic workout to ease your way into step. Also a great workout to get your mind and body back into stepping after a break.

[@bindig.6704]

Hey guys if you are a beginner this is the place to be. Chris is an excellent instructor and trust me you will get better in time. I started 30 years ago and I remember getting in the back of the class so no one would see me screw up but a few months later I was in the front because with repetition you will master the steps. I love step and I feel blessed that I found CDorner because she has workouts for everyone and they are free!! I cannot afford gym fees so I make sure that I click "Like" and leave a comment to help her out. Remember, no one can see you at home so don't quit, everyone screws up sometimes. I highly recommend her Move to Improve challenge, it is low impact and it will help with your strength, stamina and endurance. ❤Love and Light to all ❤

Found this channel over a year ago, fell in love ..then fell off...got pregnant, had my 2nd kid, then turned 40 (wish I would have stuck with it but here we are).

When I started step, I did it a LONG time without arms - the arms always made me lose my correct steps. But it happened eventually, so if the arms stress you out, just forget about them for now, you're doing great without'em. PS: I'm stealing "static stressing" for my everyday vocabulary. 🤣

[@beckyewings3844]

The first two times I did this, i didn't have my step yet. I'm kind of glad i didn't. It gave me practice for the real deal. I did it for the first time today with the step. It was hard, but I did it! I'm so proud of myself! I'll keep coming back to this video until I'm ready to progress! Thank you so much!

Im twenty, makes me feel a bit like the odd one out haha, but I have some hip problems and my achilles flexibility really never came back after I had surgery on it, I am very workout averse after a hell of a PE Class but this felt super safe and just *fun*, I definitely felt like I was falling behind in the first ten minutes but even just in one video I felt myself improve and be able to keep up with her! It doesnt look fast but it feels FAST Now that Ive settled down I feel amazing, I feel like I can breathe better and my muscles are tingly (in a very pleasant way!) What a joy to watch and do steps along with, I'll be returning :]
